The amended decision was made following passionate statements made by downtown Kingston business owners and stakeholders upset over how the new business model could affect brick-and-mortar businesses.

Commissioner Pete DeBoer initiated a vote to limit the use of the port's parking lot to be used as a parking spot, not for retail space.

DeBoer initially approved a business plan, with Commisioner Walt Elliot, in October that allowed for a doughnut and coffee concession trailer proposed by Kingston couple Steve and Jessica DuMond. It would have been parked at Highway 104 and Washington Boulevard.
